Whale Season - Sample Itinerary

Day 1 | Wednesday

Arrival to vava'u airport. After customs and immigration, you’ll be greeted by our mounu staff for a quick transfer to the marina. At the marina, you’ll board a boat to take you on a 25 minutes boat ride to mounu island. Lunch and a brief orientation will be ready once you arrive and then you will have the rest of the afternoon and evening to get settled into your rooms and the island for the week!

Day 2 - 3 | Thursday-Friday

Early breakfast before your first morning on the water. We start early to get on the water and begin our search for the whales. We’ll spend the morning on the water and return for a nice, warm lunch back on the island. It’ll be a quick turnaround to get our guests back on the water for a few more hours of whale time before returning back to mounu around 2pm. Guests usually take a nice warm shower, relax and offload the incredible photos and videos taken from the day with the whales. We enjoy a sunset bonfire and drinks before dinner.

Day 4 | Saturday

Same as day 2-3 plus a very special Saturday culture night.

Day 5 | Sunday

Sundays are a day of rest in Tonga. We take this opportunity to recharge and enjoy the island. You can enjoy a snorkel right off the beach, walk around the island, read a book or take a nap. We can also arrange for a boat ride to the nearby town if you’d like to attend church or explore (but note, most stores are closed!)

Day 6 -7 | Monday-Tuesday

Final days on the water with the whales. We also have the option to end our whale days at nearby swallows or mariners cave for some incredible snorkeling!

Day 8 | Wednesday

Enjoy breakfast before your departure to the Vava’u airport. Another 25 minute boat ride and transfer to the airport with enough time to check-in before your departing flight. Hopefully it’s not a goodbye, but a “see you later.”
